[PATCH 21/23] perf annotate-data: Add stack canary type

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Mar 19 2024 - 01:56:22 EST


When the stack protector is enabled, compiler would generate code to
check stack overflow with a special value called 'stack carary' at
runtime. On x86_64, GCC hard-codes the stack canary as %gs:40.

While there's a definition of fixed_percpu_data in asm/processor.h,
it seems that the header is not included everywhere and many places
it cannot find the type info. As it's in the well-known location (at
%gs:40), let's add a pseudo stack canary type to handle it specially.
